I really wanted to love this Bajang (also known as Zongzi). It’s a masterpiece of culinary engineering: sticky rice, savory fillings, and that iconic pyramidal shape, all bound by the ancient technology of the banana leaf. This dish dates back over 2,000 years to the Zhou Dynasty. Legend says it was born as a ritual offering to honor the poet Qu Yuan, thrown into rivers to prevent fish from eating his body. It’s a symbol of loyalty and survival, a portable meal designed for ancient travelers and warriors. As a researcher, I admire the craft. The leaf infuses the rice with polyphenols and a distinct grassy aroma, a perfect example of indigenous cuisine using nature as a pressure cooker. But strictly from a taste perspective? It didn’t click for me today. The flavor profile is complex, dense, and deeply traditional, but sometimes food heritage challenges our modern palates. And that’s okay. My mission isn’t to find "tasty" food, it’s to preserve the taste of history. Is this a masterpiece or just an acquired taste? Have you tried Bajang? Let’s talk in the comments. 👇 Culinary anthropologist tasting traditional Bajang (Zongzi) wrapped in banana leaves at Yaowarat, Bangkok’s Chinatown street food market.

Cambio del alternador!⚙️🦾🧑‍🔧 Tuvimos que cambiar el alternador en la travesía de Canarias a Cabo Verde,…y ahora parece que todo funciona algo mejor, pero tampoco notamos mucho la diferencia. Seguramente, para nuestra próxima travesía de larga distancia, apostaremos en comprar por un generador pequeño, ya que será más potente, más rápido, y menos tiempo de uso.⛵️ . . . #sailing_lasonambula #atardecer #alternador #sunset #sailingintheworld #sailing #sailing⛵️ #veleros #velero #sail #follow #tiktok #ig #igers #caribe #loveyoutiktok #trending #viral #funny #love #music #happy #atlanticcrossing #loveyou #photography
